Egg Fried Rice

This is one of the quickest recipe which I make in the mornings for lunch pack. Healthy for kids since this has egg and veggies. I generally make fried rice with ordinary raw rice (sona masoori) since this is easy to cook. Basmati rice or Jeeraga Samaba rice is reserved for Biriyanis.
